Hey guys... I believe I have stumble upon yet another breakthrough. Forget the stiff jerseys and moving shorts I stumbled upon. I've got something better. I'm calling it "Player Facial Progression". I have figured out yet another way to use RED MC to crank modding up another notch. I have tested and it works

Imagine D.Rose - With the click of a button go from a hair cut to a minifro. Shumpert - With the click of a button go from short cut to a hightop fade Melo - With the click of a button go from short haircut/clean shave to short hair/stubble and then possibly 3d beard Nowitzki - With the click of a button go from short hair/no beard to medium hair/stubble and then to longhair/ short beard look

The best part about this is all you need is a compatible CF and RED MC. This is just the beginning with this type of CF modding it will be possible to do more than just change hairstyles during a MyPlayer career, Association or season. It will now be possible to have CFs that actually replicate a player's facial features changing from a fresh faced rookie, to a established guy in his mid to late 20s, to an older vet with possibly a receding hairline, or more tattoos, or whatever. And like I said before all you need is ONE compatible CF and RED MCI can't wait to show you guys!

I posted this because I'm sure this could spark some debate about modding possibilities on the podcast

import Rose's face into each, save rcme's of each or make them as you go

use part import to import the model you want to currently use

basically that is the jist of it right? iirc that was one of the things I mentioned when I first started promoting RED MC's iff editing but never showed it off. still worth a mention though, will be looking for the tutorial

Since we are already reaching half of the season..What teams will be going to the Finals?Can the GSW and Hawks maintain their spots?Can the Cavs bounce back?Lebron starting to decline?

The Hawks are on the market and some analyst say that if the franchise is bought they might turn it into the Super Sonics. What will happen to the Hawks if that will happen? They are one of the oldest teams in the league and has a rich history.

It's been 6 months since NBA 2K15 dropped and almost no mods have been released for the game and we all know why. Whether is was necessary or not as far as I'm concerned, it seems to me that 2K/VC took a big'ol crap all over the modding community this year. I think this would be a good topic of discussion. Excuse me if this has been discussed at length somewhere else on this site because I wouldn't know as I haven't visited in much in the last 3 or 4 months. The reason for this is because I stopped playing the game back in December. A game I used to play all year long for the last 5 years. I don't know about the rest of you but 2K is going to have a hard time convincing me to re-up this October.

Andrew, Thank you for discussing my concerns on the podcast. Another enjoyable episode. I share your hope for next years installment being more mod friendly. Maybe we will get some info on it in the next 6 months, leading up to release.

I have no interest in boxing and didn't watch it, so it's not really something that we can discuss. We'd also prefer to stick to topics that are related to our content: basketball video games, and real basketball.

Ben's a bit under the weather at the moment, so unfortunately we won't have a show until next week. Feel free to keep the suggestions coming though, since there'll be a little extra time before the next episode.

A few suggestions:- Who do you think will get in the top 10 in the NBA draft?- Thib's future- How do you think Kevin and the gang will play out next season specially with a new coach and a newly-found triple-double machine? Do you think pride will get in the way?- Who should the Clippers sign, re-sign, and let go this offseason?

We'll be recording Episode #117 in about 12 hours, so any other suggestions, be sure to get them in ASAP. Obviously, the Lottery and the latest Playoffs results are already on the docket, along with anything else we've reported on as far as the video games are concerned.

Story threads seem to be picking up slightly. I have been paying attention to a few of them. I even started my own college story featuring youtube personalities like Chris Smoove, Neal Bridges, and Cam Baker. It also features characters from the NLSC characters such as Rorry Hobbs, Kevin Parker, and you will even see Jon Smith (JaoSming ) listed in the story if you look carefully.

.....time to search my name in the forums again.

I'd like to hear some retrospectives on announcements. Drum up an old news post or forum thread from years or decades (because this site can go decades!) old. Try to remember what you were saying or feeling then, compare to now, etc.

It's been a while since we did that Ultimate Game talk, so what would your ultimate basketball game include from already-existing games? Top to bottom. Better yet, what wouldn't it include.

You guys seeing any similarities with patching this year compared to 2K9?

I'd also like to hear you guys talk about FSHed, EAgraph, FSHx, Dolffin, bigGUI and compare their development/support/updates to REDitor, RED MC, 2KX Tool, 3DM's tool, Greg's tool, and even Finn's roster tool for 2K9.

Also, if you haven't in this episode, bring up and talk about Kenny's articles. (I may have missed the podcast if you did his first one).

We're recording Episode #119 in a little under twelve hours, so if you've got any topic suggestions, please let us know ASAP!

Additionally, we're looking to introduce some new original content here on the NLSC in the near future, and will be looking to reorganise our schedule. As such, if you have any preference as to when you'd like the NLSC Podcast to come out each week, please let us know, and we'll take all suggestions into consideration. As always, thanks for your support of the NLSC, and the NLSC Podcast!

Why are there no more threads in which members appreciate each other and interact on a level beyond basketball or a pre-determined topic ? I am referring to Year-reviews, Yearly awards, describe a poster and other great topics of the past?

I also believe such topics hold a certain weight and should be started by mods, preferably Andrew. We all realize and appreaciate you efforts to keep this site going and clean, but it is slowly loosing the BigFamily feel it embodied.

Which member is the greatest NLSC export ? ( guys like Jao, Leftos...)

I could give you greatest active player, because I'm far more inclined to believe that, and there's no lack of evidence. G.O.A.T...sorry, can't do it.

I've mostly been playing Ultimate Team as of late and have talked about it some, but I can definitely talk about it more...especially as news comes and goes, during the preview season. Added those suggestions to the list!

- Between MyGM and MyLeague, what is your preferred mode?- Who do you think is most likely to be traded before the deadline. Noah? Rose? Gibson? Butler?- Aside from the Nets, who do you think should blow it (front office, coaching staff) up this season?- What # should the Lakers retire? 8 or 24?

Do you think EA has done enough to draw in a bigger crowd for nba live 17 or do you think they are in any danger at all of getting the plug pulled unless they up there efforts to get more people playing Live 16?
